1. Is there an ethernet connection in your dorm room? If so, connect using an ethernet cable and see if you can get on the net again.

2. Take your MacBook to a local Starbucks or someplace that has a free wireless connection and see if you can connect from there.

Post back and let us know.

Regards.

1) No, oddly enough.

2) Sadly, no local Starbucks here (this town is DEAD) and I don't believe any local businesses offer wifi; however, I did take it to a friend's dorm and it connected, but I was getting 0 or 1 kb/s downstream.

I might also add that a few seconds ago it was fluctuating between 32, 7, 1, and 0 kb/s here at my dorm. It has seemed to stop, though.
